Recent Form
The game could not come at a better time for the visitors PAOK. Chelsea's unbeaten start to the season has just come to an end, following thumping a defeat to London rivals Tottenham, and the Blues may be slightly low on confidence following a poor performance. However, the hosts Europa League form has been quite formidable, having won four from four.
PAOK have won their last three games in domestic competitions, and thus sit comfortably atop of the Greek Super League table. However, their last Europa League game resulted in a loss to Mol Vidi, who are currently second in the group. As things stand, Mol Vidi will secure the final knockout stage qualification spot.
Here's a look at both sides most recent fixtures:
Chelsea | PAOK |
Tottenham 3-1 Chelsea (24/11) | PAOK 2-0 Xanthi (24/11) |
Chelsea 0-0 Everton (11/11) | Ergotelis 1-2 PAOK (14/11) |
Bate Borisov 0-1 Chelsea (08/11) | PAOK 2-1 Panetolikos (11/11) |
Chelsea 3-1 Crystal Palace (04/11) | Vidi 1-0 PAOK (08/11) |
Chelsea 3-2 Derby County (31/10) | Atromitos 1-1 PAOK (03/11) |
Prediction
Chelsea will more than likely play a string of second team players and fringe players against their visitors. However, with the ability of some of the players at their disposal it should be no trouble for Chelsea to wipe away PAOK to secure their qualification from Europa League group L in first place.
Prediction: Chelsea 3-0 PAOK
